Bai Qingting's eyes looked at Bai Wanrou with a bit of solemnity, and his expression became less naughty than before.
"Why did you suddenly ask about father when you were fine?"
The moment the two people looked at each other, Bai Wanrou felt that he was probing her heart, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Nothing, I just want to go home and sit down, but I'm worried about causing trouble to my father."
Bai Qingting smiled and pretended to be meaningless, "It doesn't matter. You are originally from our Bai family, so you should come back."
Although it was his usual behavior, Bai Wanrou still sensed something was wrong.
He was clearly avoiding his own problems.
Could it be that...did the father really help the prince?
She carefully tested, "Wouldn't this disturb father? He is so busy with his affairs."
Bai Qingting scratched the back of his head and returned to his previous playboy self.
"Actually, I don't know much about these things, but my father has been really busy recently, and the time I have to see him has obviously decreased."
Bai Wanrou raised her eyes and looked at him. His expression didn't seem to be lying, but she couldn't give herself a clear answer, so she just said this vaguely.
So how can you find out the news yourself?
Bai Wanrou sighed, then suddenly thought of something, and continued to ask: "Do you know where my father has been busy recently?"
The latter seemed shocked, touched her forehead, and then said, "How could you ask such a question?"
"Of course I'm busy in our library at home, where else could I go?"
"Oh, by the way, my father seems to have been to Dali Temple, but I don't know what his purpose was."
Bai Wanrou lowered her head. Seeing this, Bai Qingting patted her shoulder.
Although he didn't know why she suddenly asked so many questions.
But as the eldest brother, he sincerely hopes that her life will be better.
Thinking of that bastard Chen Ruzhi, Bai Qingting couldn't help but feel angry and itched her teeth.
"By the way, sister, are you really not going to make peace with that bastard?"
Hearing these words, Chen Ruzhi in the dark moved a little wider, stood up and looked this way.
He really couldn't figure out what Bai Qingting, a man, always did to persuade his sister and Li to do anything.
Besides, he actually called himself a bastard?!
Shi Ke couldn't bear it, so Chen Ruzhi wanted to rush up and compete with him on the spot.
Lin Yi, who was standing next to him, saw this and tugged at the corner of his clothes, using his rationality to bring back his thoughts that were about to collapse, "Your Majesty, it's too hasty to go over now."
Only then did Chen Ruzhi stop and continued to stay where he was to listen to the news.
"Brother, this matter... I have my own arrangements, so don't worry about it."
"As for you, finding a sister-in-law for me is the most important thing now."
Bai Qingting smiled, seemed a little happy, and touched her head. He didn't stop until the intact bun had been touched loosely.
"You little guy, you have learned to make fun of your brother."
Before he could say anything more, a call came from behind him.
"Brother Qingting? Brother Qingting!"
The man shouted a little uncertainly at first, but when Bai Qingting's profile appeared in front of his eyes, he finally shouted with certainty.
Bai Qingting turned around when he heard the sound, it was one of his drinking buddies.
But now his sister's matter has not been resolved, and he has no intention of dealing with outsiders.
But Bai Wanrou was a little happy when she saw that man.
"Brother, someone has called you. Go quickly. I will leave first."
"Can……"
"It's okay, I have my own arrangements for these things."
Bai Qingting and his friends were having a good time, and Bai Wanrou didn't want to disturb them with her own affairs.
After confirming again and again, he left uneasily, turning his head three times as he walked, as if Bai Wanrou was a child.
When Chen Ruzhi saw this, he wanted to stand up and move about casually, but he never expected that Bai Wanrou meant walking back when he left, and the two of them met so awkwardly in the market.
"Chen Ruzhi? Why are you here?"
Bai Wanrou was caught off guard this time. He was unprepared and froze on the spot for a moment. Then he reacted and deliberately sneered briefly.
"Hey, I turned against you right after you took advantage of me. Listening to the tone of the question, those who didn't know better thought it was torture."
Bai Wanrou knew that he was talking about what she had just lied to in front of Bai Qingting.
"It seems you have heard a lot."
"That's right, but I didn't expect that my princess, who has always pretended to be innocent in the palace, would actually show her feet here and lie with her biological brother."
Chen Ruzhi's tone was unkind, as if he could force anyone to death with these words.
The look he looked at her was full of malice, which even an ordinary couple couldn't match.
"It's true that you treated me harshly but doted on me. What kind of lying is this?"
When Bai Wanrou said this, her eyes suddenly became sore.
But she knew in her heart that she couldn't act too cowardly in front of Chen Ruzhi.
"you……!"
"Well, I don't want to reason with you, a shrew, but then again, why did you ask about your father again and again just now?"
Bai Wanrou knew that he was probably also looking into his father's affairs.
After thinking about it, there was no need to hide anything.
He will appear here today, and it will take more than a day or two to send someone to follow him.
"Why, my lord, you care about heaven and earth, but you still care about what I asked?"
"I advise you to give up investigating this matter. Bai Fengqi is your father. After finding out the facts, I'm afraid you will also..."
Chen Ru didn't say what he said next, but the two of them knew the meaning clearly.
He just felt that Bai Wanrou would conceal the truth because of the relationship between father and daughter.
What's more, he has already determined in his heart that Bai Fengqi is guilty, so how can he think that the facts are contrary to this?
"You don't need to take care of this matter. Although my father and I have a father-daughter relationship, I can distinguish right from wrong. Prince, you just need to take care of yourself."
Chen Ruzhi also wanted to give some advice. After all, there was no point in continuing to investigate like this.
But when he saw Bai Wanrou turning around and leaving without hesitation, he suddenly felt that it was unnecessary.
He finally and sincerely wanted to be nice to her once, but she didn't appreciate it, so he just listened to her and left.
That's what he thought, but Chen Ruzhi still sent Lin Yi to follow them to observe their whereabouts.
After all, if I could get some information about this matter through their channels, it would be a worry-free thing.
Chen Ruzhi snorted coldly, "Who are you? He doesn't want to persuade me."
"Miss, are we going back to Dali Temple now?"
"Yes, I want to see if I can find my father there."
Suddenly, Bai Wanrou's steps stopped.
Qingtang followed her all the way, and when her rhythm stopped, she was forced to stop.
At that time, she was still full of doubts, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Wanrou shook her head and spoke in a weak voice, "Qingtang, let's go back to the palace. There is no need to go to Dali Temple."
Qingtang didn't know why she suddenly changed her mind. Although she nodded and followed her to change the route, she still had doubts in her heart.
After finally holding it in, she arrived at the palace. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she asked: "Miss, why did you suddenly change your mind just now in the alley?"
"Although I have been investigating my father's behavior recently, I don't want Chen Ruzhi to know about it, otherwise he will have information about his father, which is not good."
"So, we must be extremely careful wherever we go in the future, lest he catches us again one day."
Qingtang nodded, she could completely understand Bai Wanrou's thoughts.
But, how did the young lady know that the prince would know?
Qingtang hadn't noticed Lin Yi who had been following them, so she was naturally a little confused.
"The prince and the princess originally wanted to go to Dali Temple, but they turned back to the palace on the way."
Chen Ruzhi raised his eyes and looked at Lin Yi, who quickly changed his tune.
"It's Miss."
He nodded, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "There is no need to continue following, you have been discovered."
Lin Yi looked up in surprise.
How can this be?
His Qing Gong is almost close to that of Chen Ruzhi, it can be said to be as good as anyone else. How could he be discovered by a person like Bai Wanrou who has no Kung Fu?
Lin Yi didn't believe it in his heart, lowered his head and said: "Why did the prince say this? I always felt that I hid it very well."
Chen Ruzhi knew that Lin Yi's martial arts was indeed not bad, and he was proud of it.
But as Bai Wanrou is a princess and was previously Bai Fengqi's daughter, it's normal to be careful, and there's nothing strange about being discovered.
"Don't mention this matter again in the future. I will continue to follow her. You just need to be responsible for doing your own thing."
Lin Yi subconsciously wanted to ask him how to follow him, but after realizing what his status was now, he stopped talking.
At the same time, in Bai Wanrou's room.
Luzhu didn't know what happened to them in Dali Temple. Seeing that his lady came back a little later than expected, she just asked casually:
"Miss, what did you do today?"
Bai Wanrou shook her head, it wasn't that she didn't trust Lu Zhu.
But she still didn't want more people to know about it before she figured out the truth.
When Qingtang saw this and knew that her master was not going to speak, she consciously lowered her head and said nothing.
Seeing that neither of them responded, Luzhu had no choice but to continue serving the dishes.
"Miss, the imperial kitchen did a good job today. I just tried it. This dish will definitely suit your taste."
Green Bamboo is very positive today.
All their slaves had dinner together. Although the food was not better than that of their masters, she had some advantage because she was the princess's personal maid, so she obviously ate well.
However, what she didn't know was that Bai Wanrou and Qingtang had just seen the corpse of the peasant girl in Dali Temple.
Nowadays, let alone good food, she can't even swallow ordinary white rice.
"Lvzhu, you must be tired after working in the yard all day."
"I'll give you these to eat."
Bai Wanrou often shared things with Lu Zhu when she was in the Hou Mansion, and she never used the word "reward". She truly regarded Lu Zhu as her good sister.
However, things did happen for a reason today.
She looked at the food in front of her, and then thought of the corpse with obvious signs of struggle. She felt sick no matter what, and she really couldn't eat it.
"Miss, what on earth did you do today?"
Luzhu was worried that there was something wrong with her health, so she rushed over to check. This chapter has been completed!
